3. Executive Summary

i. This review of Mexico’s Completion and Learning Review (CLR) of the World Bank Group’sCountry Partnership Strategy (CPS) covers the CPS period FY14-FY19 and the Performance andLearning Review (PLR) of January 26, 2017.

ii. Mexico is an upper-middle-income country with a gross national income (GNI) per capita (incurrent US$) of US$9,180 in 2018. During 2014-18, the average annual GDP growth rate was 2.2percent in a show of resilience in the face of a complex external environment. In the first half of2019, economic growth came to a virtual halt owing to policy uncertainty, tight monetary conditionsand budget under-execution as well as slowing global manufacturing activity.1 Over the longerterm, Mexico’s economic growth has been below the level needed to converge toward advancedcountry economies. The country’s per capita GDP, which is closely related to productivity, stands at34 percent of U.S. per capita GDP compared with 49 percent in 1980.2 Poverty rates (share ofindividuals living on less than the 2011 PPP US$1.90 per day poverty line) fell from 3.8 percent ofthe population in 2016 to 2.2 percent in 2016. There was a small decline in the Gini index from 48.7percent in 2014 to 48.3 in 2016. IEG’s Country Program Evaluation for Mexico (2018) indicates thatMexico’s multidimensional poverty index for the extremely poor fell from 11.3 percent in 2010 to7.6 percent in 2016, helping reduce the overall index from 46.1 percent to 43.6 percent. At thesame time, income growth of the bottom 40 percent was below the population mean.

iii. The CPS was congruent with the Government’s 2013-18 National Development Plan (NDP).3

It had four focus areas: (i) unleashing productivity, (ii) increasing social prosperity,(iii) strengthening public finances and government efficiency, and (iv) promoting green and inclusivegrowth. These focus areas address key development challenges, including improving productivityand reducing poverty. At PLR stage, several adjustments were introduced to improve theformulation of CPS objectives to better align them with what the CPS intended to achieve; in onlyone case was the design of the country program substantially changed.

was at about 80 percent of the single borrower limit of US$19 billion during the program period. The authorities left a 20 percent headroom deliberately for potential borrowing in the event of a crisis.

iv. At the start of the CPS period, outstanding IBRD commitments amounted to US$6.2 billion,consisting of 16 investment project financing (IPF) operations and a development policy loan (DPL)implemented during FY12-FY14. About 70 percent of commitments (US$4.3 billion) were in theareas of social protection, education, and health and nutrition. During the CPS period, new IBRDcommitments totaled US$3.4 billion comprising 21 IPF operations, including one additionalfinancing project. A significant portion of these new commitments (about 40 percent) supportedfinancial inclusion and rural finance. During the CPS period, nine trust fund (TF)-financed projectswere approved amounting to US$105 million, supporting primarily environment-related objectives,housing, and education. The International Finance Corporation (IFC) made US$1.4 billion in 71long-term investments and had an average short-term trade finance guarantee exposure of US$2.5million under the Global Trade Finance Program. IFC’s total investments active during FY14-FY19amounted to US$2.4 billion.4 The Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) approved aguarantee for a gross exposure of US$963 million in the energy sector.

v. IEG rates the CPS development outcome as Moderately Satisfactory. Of the sevenobjectives, one was Achieved and six Mostly Achieved. The objective to improve financial inclusionwas achieved. The objectives on improving access to and quality of education, enhancing theinvestment climate in target states, increasing access and integration of the social protectionsystem, improving fiscal management capacity, improving capacity for low-carbon urbandevelopment management, and enhancing the sustainable management of key natural resourceswere mostly achieved.

vi. Overall, IEG rates World Bank Group performance as Good. The CPS design addressedimportant development challenges, and on the whole, the program had a focus on reducing povertyand improving shared prosperity. Three out of seven CPS objectives at PLR stage had a directfocus on improving living standards for the poor, including financial inclusion in underserved ruralareas, and/or targeted low-income areas. Despite a rigorous selectivity exercise, the broad scopeof some objectives made the original program less selective in terms of coverage than it appeared.In the original design, there was a weak link between some objectives and their results indicators.The PLR adjusted several objectives to improve the quality of the results framework and respond tochanges in client demand. Still, after the PLR, some objectives (natural resources and renewableenergy) were compound objectives that were broader in scope than the WBG interventions couldachieve, and the PLR reduced the program’s aspirations related to increased non-oil publicrevenues and improved expenditure equity (original Objective 6).

vii. In terms of implementation, project performance at exit was better than the LAC region andthe World Bank overall.5 Just three out of 17 projects that exited during the CPS were ratedModerately Unsatisfactory or lower. The World Bank was generally proactive through countryportfolio performance reviews, which provided solutions to issues in the implementation of severalprojects. However, for some of the ongoing operations (e.g. Urban Transport Transformationproject [FY10]) implementation issues were difficult to resolve despite the World Bank’s proactivity.The programmatic approach to Advisory Services and Analytics (ASA) provided a strategicapproach to activities (individual activities had to be coherent with the whole program) and its multi-annual framework permitted annual reviews to adjust the program as needed. IFC participated inthree out of the four program pillars, and it contributed to progress in financial inclusion, opening

4 This includes $963 million in commitments made prior to FY14 that were active during the CPS period. 5 Performance at exit, measured by outcomes rated Moderately Satisfactory or better by IEG: Mexico (75 percent of projects and 97 percent weighted by volume of commitments), Latin America region (73 percent of projects and 80 percent weighted by volume of commitments) and World Bank (76 percent of projects and 84 percent weighted by volume of commitments).

local markets to the private sector, education, housing, and renewable energy. MIGA also participated with a political risk guarantee in the energy sector.

viii. The CLR provided four lessons: (i) flexibility in the WBG’s engagement was key toresponding rapidly to the country’s development needs, (ii) supporting Mexico’s role as a globalknowledge leader provides important insights for the global public goods agenda, (iii) closecollaboration within the WBG has been critical to creating an appropriate business environment andsucceeding in crowding in private sector solutions, and (iv) the use of the full suite of WBG servicesand instruments of engagement with the public and private sectors is a good example of the WBG’srelevance in upper-middle-income countries, such as Mexico.

ix. IEG broadly agrees with these lessons, with nuances. On flexibility, indeed there was somerefocusing of resources at PLR stage as explained in footnote 9, but this was minor compared withthe radical changes under the previous (FY08-FY13) strategy in response to the effects of theglobal financial crisis. On collaboration within the WBG, the role of IFC was significant, and MIGAplayed its part, but the CLR only briefly mentions how IBRD, IFC, and MIGA coordinated under theprogram.

x. Under the Mexico CPS for FY14-FY19, World Bank Group supported the government ofMexico to implement interventions that were targeted to addressing the country’s developmentgoals and were broadly focused on reducing poverty and improving shared prosperity. There was adegree of selectivity, and there was strong ownership of the CPS by the authorities. World Bank,IFC, and MIGA interventions complemented each other, but the degree to which the institutionsworked together was not explained explicitly in the CLR. There were shortcomings in measuring theprogram’s intended results and outcomes. There was a weak link between some of the CPSobjectives and their indicators, especially in the original design, and there could have been agreater outcome orientation in some cases. For instance, access to education was measured, butquality was not, and aspects of fiscal management capacity were measured, but the quality of fiscalmanagement itself was not. Nevertheless, the program made important contributions to Mexico’sdevelopment – telecommunications backbone infrastructure (Red Compartida) and access tofinance for individuals and firms stand out in particular.

4. Strategic Focus

Relevance of the WBG Strategy:

1. Congruence with Country Context and Country Program. A new government assumedoffice in December 2012—about a year before the start of the CPS period—and launched a reformprogram to boost growth and reduce poverty. The initial set of reforms proposed by the governmentcovered telecommunications, education, financial services, public finance and energy. The countrywas facing challenges that included accelerating productivity growth, raising living standards byreducing poverty and inequality, improving states’ public finances, and promoting green growth.Between 1991 and 2016, the contribution of total factor productivity (TFP) to growth was negative (-1percent), signaling structural challenges.6 States were reliant on federal transfers, which accounted for90 percent of subnational public revenues, and sometimes resorted to unregistered debt. Publicfinances remained vulnerable to natural disasters.7 According to the Union of Concerned Scientists,Mexico was the largest contributor of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in Latin America in 2016, andranked 12th in the world (445.5 metric megatons). In addition to diverging from U.S. per capita GDP,Mexico suffers from significant regional differences. One out of three Mexicans in poverty lives inChiapas, Guerrero, or Oaxaca, and 14 states out of 32 have populations with extreme monetarypoverty rates above 30 percent.8 These challenges were complicated by uncertainties associated with

trade frictions with the United States and adjustments in policy priorities from the administration that took office in December 2018.

2. The CPS pillars—unleashing productivity, increasing social prosperity, strengthening publicfinances and government efficiency, and promoting green and inclusive growth—were congruent withMexico’s National Development Plan 2013-18 by addressing explicitly NDP pillars to make Mexicomore inclusive, improve the quality of education, and promote prosperity (see footnote 3).

3. Relevance of Design. The World Bank used primarily IPF operations and ASA to support theCPS objectives. The new IPF operations supported especially the areas of education, socialprotection, health, and water supply. The complementary ASA program was organized initially aroundseven Programmatic Approaches and subsequently expanded, where the Bank provided inputs onclimate change, financial sector, poverty reduction, urban development, public sector strengthening,and health. Reimbursable Advisory Services (RAS) were used at both the federal and sub-nationallevels. The WBG worked with both public and private sector clients at the federal level and with someof the poorest states, such as Oaxaca. IFC contributed significantly to the program—through bothinvestments and Advisory Services in support of unleashing productivity, increasing social prosperity,and promoting green and inclusive growth—and its contributions were well captured in the resultsframework. On the whole, the emphasis on ASA was appropriate for an upper middle-income country.The proposed WBG interventions could reasonably be expected to contribute towards theachievement of the CPS objectives and the country’s development goals. However, in some cases theobjectives and associated indicators in the original CPS were formulated more broadly than the WBGprogram aimed, or could be expected, to achieve. While the four pillars of the original CPS were keptat PLR stage, the number of objectives was reduced from 12 in the original CPS to seven, with25 indicators (from 29 in the original CPS). The Bank acknowledged that it was not on a position tosupport the broad scope of some objectives. Objective 4 on skilled labor participation wasappropriately changed to relate it more directly to the support the WBG planned to provide asdocumented in the original results framework, which was mainly related to education. The originalobjective 6 on non-oil public revenue and improved expenditure equity was merged with objectives7 and 8, and changed. The intention of original Objective 6 (increasing non-oil public revenues andimproving expenditure equity) was pared down, and the intention of original Objectives 7 and 8 weremaintained or slightly reduced. Apart from the reduction in expectations on original Objective 6, theother changes appear to be consistent with the original CPS and the program’s overall aims. Thechanges improve the quality of the results framework and reflect some changes in client demand.

Selectivity

4. The World Bank team went through a rigorous selectivity exercise based on WBG comparativeadvantage, client demand, and alignment to WBG goals. As a result, it exited Bank activities in tradecompetitiveness, customs, judicial, and influenza support programs primarily due to weak clientdemand and unsuccessful engagements during the previous CPS period. It also shifted theknowledge program to multi-year/multi-sector Programmatic Approaches, each with one commondevelopment objective aligned with CPS objectives (innovation strategies for poor states, integrationof social protection systems, managing fiscal challenges, and disaster risk management andurbanization). The CPS contained an indicative lending envelope for FY14-FY15, and over the courseof CPS implementation nine additional projects were approved. Around half of these started beforethe PLR was conducted and were incorporated in the results framework at PLR stage. The newprojects contributed to the country program objectives (1, 2, 4, 5, and 6), and the PLR also appears tohave been used appropriately to make some adjustments in the country program based on clientdemand.9 However, the broad scope of some objectives made the original program less selective interms of coverage than it appeared as in the case of objectives 4, 6, 7, and 8, on skilled labor

9 The original CPS envisaged support for infrastructure development under pillar 1 in view of possible requests from the new National Infrastructure Plan, which did not materialize. Therefore, at PLR stage, support for infrastructure was replaced by a deepening engagement on financial inclusion, support for developing special economic zones (SEZ) in the poor south and southeastern states, strengthening productivity in agriculture, and linking the social protection system to productive programs.

Page 5: CLR Review - ieg.worldbank.org · quality was not, and aspects of fiscal management capacity were measured, but the quality of fiscal management itself was not. Nevertheless, the

participation, non-oil public revenue and expenditure equity, public sector management, and the risk management framework.

Alignment

5. On the whole, the program had a focus on reducing poverty and improving shared prosperity.Three out of seven CPS objectives at PLR stage focused directly on these goals, including financialinclusion in underserved rural areas, and/or targeted low-income areas. The Bank supportedprograms, such as PROSPERA,10 that target the most vulnerable citizens for social assistance. Inaddition, targeted interventions in poor states under the unleashing productivity pillar benefited remoteareas and lagging regions, such as Oaxaca, where extreme poverty is concentrated. The SpecialEconomic Zones agenda—cancelled by the new administration due to a change of priorities—specifically targeted the lagging south and southeastern states. Disaster risk management addressedrisks that affect primarily the poor and vulnerable families.

5. Development Outcome

Overview of Achievement by Objective:

Focus Area I: Unleashing Productivity

6. Focus Area I had two objectives: (i) improve financial inclusion for productive purposes, and(ii) improve the investment climate in target states and select infrastructure development forproductive purposes.

7. Objective 1: Improve financial inclusion for productive purposes. This objective wassupported by the Savings and Credit Sector Consolidation and Financial Inclusion Project (FY12) andthe Expanding Rural Finance project (FY16). Several ASA products supported the objective:Catalyzing Financial Sector Development (FY19), Sound Financial Sector Development ProgrammaticApproach (FY16), RAS Banxico Programmatic (FY17), Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP)Update (FY17), Mexico Financial Capabilities Assessment (FY14), and Oaxaca Engagement MexicoProgrammatic Approach (FY16). The objective also was supported by several IFC investments infinancial institutions: Compartamos, Agrofinanzas, Banko del Bajio, Progresemos, CAMESA, Mifel,Konfio and Contigo. In addition, IFC provided two advisory services: Progresemos and PBGI Learning& RE. Objective 1 had four indicators:

• Number of clients [persons] mainstreamed into the formal financial sector: The April 2017 ISRof the Savings and Credit Sector Consolidation and Financial Inclusion Project (FY12) reportsthat 9.35 million of clients were mainstreamed into the formal sector as of December 2016(compared with a target of 8 million in 2016). That number increased to 9.5 million by June2017 according to IEG’s ICR review of the project. Twenty percent of the additional clients(from baseline of 7.12 million in 2014) received credit, savings, and /or insurance in addition toa guaranteed bank account. Achieved

• Number of additional MSMEs in the rural economy with access to credit (of which 60 percentare female-owned) (cumulative). The May 2019 ISR of the Expanding Rural Finance project(FY16) reports that there were 118,107 microfinance beneficiaries financed by the project as ofDecember 2018, of which 86 percent were female (compared with target of 22,222 in 2018, ofwhich 13,333 female). The indicator measures the total number of MSMEs that received creditthrough the Bank’s project. IEG notes that the term “additional” may be imprecise as this doesnot measure first-time borrowers or MSMEs that would not have been able to access creditthrough other means. However, as the Country Team has defined it the target is Achieved.

10 PROSPERA is a social protection program based on conditional cash transfers that serves about 7 million poor and vulnerable families, or about a fourth of the total population. It is one of the grant programs with the largest allocations in the Federal Public Administration (0.5 percent of GDP).

Page 6: CLR Review - ieg.worldbank.org · quality was not, and aspects of fiscal management capacity were measured, but the quality of fiscal management itself was not. Nevertheless, the

6 CLR Review Independent Evaluation Group

• IFC: Number and volume (US$) of MSME loans in outstanding portfolio. During the CPSperiod IFC-supported investments generated 3.7 million loans with a volume of US$4.1 billion(compared with a target of 4.07 million loans, and US$4.3 billion). Mostly Achieved

• IFC: Number of new issuers in the capital markets with IFC’s support. There were three bondissuances supported by IFC (compared with a target of four), all with the Consorcio deAsistencia al Microeemprendedor (CAMESA), a microfinance institution. IFC supported onetwo-year bond issue and one three-year bond issue in 2015, and one three-year bond issue in2017. Mostly Achieved

8. There was progress in the number of clients mainstreamed into the formal financial sector,and increased financing for rural MSMEs. IFC contributed to MSME financing and helped a micro-finance institution and a lead developer of housing for low- and middle-income families to tap thedomestic financial market. Additional evidence provided by the country team beyond the CLR clarifiesthat the Bank’s lending and IFC’s investments in microfinance and financial inclusion werecomplementary. IFC supported commercial players in expanding the range of financial instrumentsand access to them, while the Bank’s work focused on the policy environment, capacity-building, andlending in poorer and remote areas. Regarding the second part of the objective (productive purposes),three out of four results indicators imply that the results achieved were for productive purposesthrough their focus on MSMEs. However, the first indicator, on clients mainstreamed into the formalfinancial system, did not track how many clients used the financial services for productive purposesversus household consumption. In addition, for the second indicator under this objective, IEG notesthat the indicator used (MSMEs receiving credit) measures a narrower segment of the market than theindicator name (MSMEs with access to credit). An MSME with access to credit may or may notchoose to take on credit. On balance, Objective 1 was Achieved.

9. Objective 2: Improve the investment climate in target states and select infrastructuredevelopment for productive purposes. This objective was supported by ASA on MexicoProductivity Democratization Programmatic Approach (FY19), Supporting Mexico’s SEZ (FY19),Oaxaca Regulatory Barriers to Competition (FY14), and Oaxaca Judiciary RAAP (FY16). IFCsupported the objective with several investments: APM TEC II (ports), Tuxpan (ports), Agrofinanzas(finance), Norson (agriculture/ forestry), Acuagranjas (agriculture/forestry), Bioparques(agriculture/forestry), Red Compartida (broadband), Citla Energy (oil), Solem Dos (electricity), andPotrero Solar (electricity). Objective 2 had four indicators:

• Number of recommended regulations/amendments/codes adopted in SEZ states. The Bankprovided advisory support to the preparation of the Federal Law on Special Economic Zones,which was adopted on June 1, 2016, and its implemented regulations, which were adopted onJune 30, 2016. The authorities accepted at least 18 specific provisions recommended by theWBG (compared with a target of 9). Following the change in the national government inDecember 2018, the SEZ program was cancelled reflecting a change in Mexico’s priorities.However, elements of the SEZ one-stop-shop (Ventanilla Unica) and the supplier developmentprogram supported by the World Bank are currently being piloted at the subnational level invarious of the states that had been included in the SEZ program. Achieved

• IFC: Containers handled (Millions TEU Containers)/Port Operations. The IFC DOTS databaseshow that IFC investments resulted in 0.36 Million TEU containers handled as of 2017 and0.76 million TEU handled in 2018 (compared with a target of 1.67 million in 2018). IFC clientManzanillo served 0.9 million TEUs in 2017; however, IFC’s investment was canceled after theexpansion it was to fund was delayed, and therefore these results are not included. PartiallyAchieved

• IFC: Number of farmers integrated into the agribusiness value chain through projects financedby IFC. During the CPS period, IFC investments in three agribusiness clients and one financialservices client focused on the agribusiness sector reached 12,013 farmers (compared with atarget of 8,630 for 2018). IFC clarified that its standard indicator of farmers integrated into theagribusiness value chain encompasses results of companies that have been leading their

respective agribusiness subsectors via supply chain creation by SME onboarding, and/or standard setting, contributing to improvements in the agribusiness investment climate that do not necessarily come from improved federal or local regulation. Achieved

• IFC: New private sector investments facilitated by IFC in opportunities generated by Mexicanreforms. The IFC Mexico Strategy FY20-25 document reports that there were US$1.3 billion(IFC’s own account) or US$2.3 billion (IFC’s own account plus mobilization) of new privatesector investments as of FY19 (against target of US$700 million, and US$1.5 billion,respectively). Three IFC investments in the electricity and oil & gas sectors (Potrero Solar,Solem, and Citla) were made possible by a reform that opened these sectors to privateinvestment. IFC’s support to Altan Redes enabled it to enter into a concession with TELECOMto develop and operate the wholesale network and provide telecommunication services toretailers. This was made possible by a constitutional reform to improve the competitiveness ofthe telecommunication markets. These four investments totaled US$148.9 million in netcommitments from IFC’s own account, plus US$410 million in mobilization, for a total ofUS$558.9 million (IFC’s own account plus mobilization). Three of these projects have a totalvalue of US$1,158.9 million, and the fourth is projected to reach US$7 billion. Beyond thesefour projects, it is unclear how much of the mobilization due to IFC’s investment during theCPS period was in investments from opportunities generated by the Mexican reforms. PartiallyAchieved.

10. On balance IEG rates Objective 2 as Mostly Achieved.

11. IEG rates Focus Area I as Satisfactory. There was progress in improving financial inclusionfor productive purposes. The authorities accepted 18 WBG-recommended specific provisions for theSEZ law, and although the SEZ program was cancelled in 2019 under the new government, someelements of the WBG’s advice are being implemented at the sub-national level. The number offarmers integrated into agribusiness value chains increased significantly, and IFC invested andmobilized substantial resources into Mexico, particularly in the finance, agriculture, and energysectors. However, IFC investments fell short of the container capacity targeted under the WBGprogram. While IFC’s investments reached impressive levels, only four projects were identified thathad an explicit link to opportunities generated by reforms undertaken by the Mexican government, andIFC’s investment from its own account plus mobilization fell well short of the target. However, it isnotable that the total value of these projects is projected to reach over US$8 billion. IEG did not reviewXPSRs of IFC investments in the agriculture or energy sectors. The XPSRs of the two investmentsthat IEG reviewed related to the financial sector were Mostly Successful.

Focus Area II: Increasing Social Prosperity

12. Focus Area II had two objectives, to improve: (i) access to and quality in target educationprograms, and (ii) access to and integration of the social protection system.

13. Objective 3: Improve access and quality in target education programs. This objective wassupported by the School Based Management project (FY15) and the Reducing Inequality ofEducational Opportunity project (FY15), and ASA on Knowledge Agenda of the Educational Reform inMexico. The objective also was supported by several IFC investments: FINEM and FINAE (educationfinancing), UAG University, and Harmon Hall (education services). However, the developmentoutcomes of the investments in UAG University and in Harmon Hall were considered Unsuccessfulaccording to IEG’s reviews of the projects’ XPSRs. In addition, IFC provided two advisory services:EduMex and Laureate Results Measurement. Objective 3 had three indicators:

• Gross failure rate (%) among basic (primary and secondary) education schools in programs tostrengthen School-Based Management (SBM). IEG’s ICR review reports that the gross failurerate for both the Programa de Reforma Educativa (PRE) and the Programa de Escuelas deTiempo Completo (PETC) were 1.44 percent for primary school and 7.84 percent forsecondary school. Neither the ICR nor the ICR review report gross failure rates separately forthe two programs, as targeted under the results framework. However, the actual failure rates in

Page 8: CLR Review - ieg.worldbank.org · quality was not, and aspects of fiscal management capacity were measured, but the quality of fiscal management itself was not. Nevertheless, the

8 CLR Review Independent Evaluation Group

2018 were above (worse than) the 2014 baselines of 1.1 percent (primary) and 7.79 percent (secondary). Not Achieved

• Transition rate (%) from primary to secondary education for graduates of CONAFEadministered schools in selected National Crusade against Hunger (CNCH) municipalities. TheICR of the Reducing Inequality of Educational Opportunity project (FY15) reports that the transition rate from primary to secondary education for graduates of CONAFE schools in selected National Crusade against Hunger (CNCH) municipalities was 70 percent as of December 2018 (compared with a target of 70 percent). Achieved

• Number of students enrolled in higher level institutions financed by IFC (baseline 52,000 ofwhich 26,000 female in 2012). IEG can confirm from the IFC REACH database that as of 2017,IFC supported investments resulted in 89,377 students reached (of which 46,420 were female);compared with a target of 105,000 (of which 52,000 female). Mostly Achieved

14. The indicators measure access. For quality, it would have been more appropriate to have theresults in exams that indicate level of attainment. The gross failure rate targets by program could notbe verified by IEG, but aggregate performance is worse than the baselines. The CLR cites resultsfrom an impact evaluation that suggests improved learning in seven states where it assessed theimpact of project supported activities such as school grants and capacity building upon learning. Onbalance, Objective 3 is Mostly Achieved.

15. Objective 4: Improve access and integration of the social protection system. Thisobjective was supported by the Social Protection System project (FY15). Several ASA productssupported the objective: Social Protection and Labor Engagement (FY20), Support for Strengtheningof the Social Protection System and its Focus on Wellbeing, Nutritional Status and Food Security(FY18), Social Protection System Programmatic Approach II (FY17), and Social Protection and Health(FY14). The objective also was supported by IFC’s UAG University investment (although IEG’s reviewconsidered this Unsuccessful). Objective 4 had four indicators:

• Number of PROSPERA beneficiaries that participate in social programs (baseline: 465,842 in2014). The June 2019 ISR of the Social Protection System project (FY15) reports that1,797,097 beneficiaries participated in social programs as of December 2018 (compared with atarget of 726,779). Achieved

• Number of PROSPERA beneficiaries that participate in productive programs11 (baseline:14,370 in 2014). The June 2019 ISR of the Social Protection System project (FY15) reportsthat 318,217 beneficiaries participated in productive programs as of December 2017(compared with a target of 22,402). Achieved

• Number of instruments implemented for an integrated social information system (baseline: 0 in2014). The June 2019 ISR of the Social Protection System project (FY15) reports that therewere 7 instruments implemented for an integrated social information system as of December2018 (compared with a target of 5). Achieved

• Number of low-income patients treated by private health care providers financed by IFC(baseline: 226,000 in 2012). IFC-supported investments resulted in 348,341 patients(inpatients and outpatients) reached/served. However, it is unclear what the share of low-income patients is, as the IFC projects supported low to middle-income patients. The targetwas 260,000. Not Verified

16. The indicators do not measure access of the social protection program (number of participantsvs those that are eligible) but rather the participation of beneficiaries of one program (PROSPERA) insocial and productive programs. Further, there is no evidence that the number of patients treated by

Page 9: CLR Review - ieg.worldbank.org · quality was not, and aspects of fiscal management capacity were measured, but the quality of fiscal management itself was not. Nevertheless, the

9 CLR Review Independent Evaluation Group

private health care providers financed by IFC were specifically low-income patients. On balance, IEG rates Objective 4 as Mostly Achieved.

17. IEG rates Focus Area II as Moderately Satisfactory. Access in target education programsimproved, but the quality of such programs could not be assessed adequately. A substantial numberof instruments was introduced to integrate the social information system, and PROSPERAbeneficiaries participated in social and productive programs in significant numbers.

Focus Area III: Strengthening Public Finances and Government Efficiency 18. Focus Area III had one objective: to improve fiscal management capacity and increaseadoption of modern public financial or information management mechanisms in selected states.

19. Objective 5: Improve fiscal management capacity and increase adoption of modernpublic financial or information management mechanisms in selected states. This objective wassupported by ASA on Subnational Fiscal Topics (FY19), TA on Strengthening SubnationalGovernments (FY19), Strengthening Unplanned Debt Prevention for Subnational Governments(FY18), Fiscal Challenges PKS (FY15), Programmatic Approach for Public Sector (FY16), AgricultureRisk Management (FY15), Strengthening DRM (FY16), RAS Programmatic Engagement in DRM(FY15), Strengthening Public Sector Management Systems in Mexico City (FY18), RAS on ImprovingEvidence Based Policy (FY17), RAS for Strengthening Public Sector Management, and FosteringAccountability and Efficiency in Public Service Delivery (FY16). Objective 5 had three indicators:

• Number of states that are in compliance with reporting requirements under the new FiscalDiscipline Law for Subnational Entities. The Secretariat of Finance and Public Credit reports onits website that 31 states were in compliance with reporting requirements under the new FiscalDiscipline Law for Subnational Entities (compared with a target of at least five). Achieved

• Number of states that have joined the disaster risk transfer pool proposed by the FederalGovernment. The activity completion summary of Strengthening DRM in Mexico (FY16)reports that three states (Oaxaca, San Luis de Potosi, and Hidalgo) implemented the pilotmechanism creating a pool to transfer their disaster risk to the market (compared with a targetof six). Partially Achieved

• Number of states that have adopted at least one new recommended mechanism to improvetheir public financial or information system. Recommendations have been adopted in Oaxaca,Guanajuato, Jalisco, Morelos, Veracruz, and Puebla, compared with a target of at leastfive states. Achieved

20. The results show that fiscal management capacity and compliance with reporting and publicfinancial or information systems have mostly been improved. While the first result indicator measurescompliance with reporting requirements only, the CLR states that the impact goes beyond purelyreporting, as the law established a fiscal rule for states and municipalities that links fiscal balances toindebtedness levels, and this has resulted in tightening debt management practices and controls atthe subnational level. This has not been independently verified by IEG. Mexico issued a catastropherisk bond which, according to the CLR, was the largest government catastrophe bond in history, thefirst catastrophe bond in South America, and the second-largest catastrophe bond deal ever.However, the number of states joining the disaster risk transfer pool proposed by the FederalGovernment was lower than expected. IEG notes that the improvements in fiscal managementcapacity do not necessarily mean that fiscal management itself has been improved. On balance,Objective 5 was Mostly Achieved.

21. IEG rates Focus Area III as Moderately Satisfactory. A significant number of states are incompliance with reporting requirements under the new fiscal discipline, states are participating indisaster risk pooling and/or developing associated financing strategies, and several states haveimproved their public financial or information systems.

Focus Area IV: Promoting Green and Inclusive Growth 22. Focus Area IV had two objectives: (i) improve capacity for low-carbon urban developmentmanagement, and (ii) improve management of key natural resources.

23. Objective 6: Improve capacity for low-carbon urban development management. Thisobjective was supported by the Urban Transport Transformation Program (FY10), Efficient Lightingand Appliances project (FY11), Sustainable Transport and Air Quality project (FY16), and theMunicipal Energy Efficiency project (FY16) and its additional financing (FY18). Several ASA productscontributed to the objective: Programmatic Approach for the Agenda on Sustainable Transport (FY19),Social Risk Management and Benefit Sharing Analysis for Wind Power Sector in Oaxaca (FY18),Greening Electricity Generation (FY14), Urban and Housing Programmatic Approach (FY17), UrbanEnvironmental Services, and the TRACE Model in Pilot Cities in Latin America (FY15). In addition, IFCinvested in Group Vinte and City Express. Objective 6 had three indicators:

• GHG emissions avoided or reduced in cities supported by Bank projects in the energy andtransport sectors (tCO2e). At least 1.7 million tons of CO2 were reduced during the CPSperiod, against a target of 827,919 for 2018. Achieved

• Number of large and intermediate cities using the Municipal Energy Diagnostics Toolsdeveloped by the Bank (Tool for Rapid Assessment of City Energy-TRACE, Climate Action forUrban Sustainability-CURB). The ICR review of the Efficient Lighting and Appliances project(FY11) reports that more than 30 additional cities across the country used TRACE to diagnosepotential energy efficiency investments. IEG was able to validate that an additional two citiesimplemented TRACE. Thus, a total of 32 additional cities implemented TRACE, compared withtarget of 42 additional cities by 2018. Thirteen municipalities and two states participated in aCURB training supported by the WB in April 2018 (CURB Training Final Report, P149872);however, the project did not monitor municipalities’ implementation of CURB as a diagnostictool. Mostly Achieved

• Number of projects with Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies (EDGE) certification(target five by 2018). The CLR reports that IFC contributed to the final certification of fourprojects (two in the State of Mexico and two in the State of Veracruz). IEG can verify that threeprojects received certification during the CPS period. One certificate had been issued prior tothe CPS period. Mostly Achieved

24. With Bank support, Mexico reduced GHG emissions, and increased its capacity for low-carbonurban management. On balance, Objective 6 was Mostly Achieved.

25. Objective 7: Improve sustainable management of key natural resources (forests,biodiverse areas, water, and combined renewable energy). This objective was supported by theForests and Climate Change project (FY12), the Sustainable Production Systems and Biodiversity(FY13), the Coastal Watersheds Conservation in the Context of Climate Change (FY14), theEfficiency Improvement Program (FY11), the Sustainable Rural Development (FY09), GEF LargeScale RE Development—La Venta 3 (FY06), Hybrid Solar Thermal—Agua Prieta (FY07), theSustainable Energy Technologies Development for Climate Change (FY15), and Integrated EnergyServices (FY08). Several ASA products contributed to the objective: Forests and Climate Change:Building Low-Carbon and Resilient Landscapes (FY19), National Center for Hydrocarbon Information(FY15), Strengthening 18) Security and Resilience (FY19), Water Sector Adaptation TechnicalCooperation Program (FY14), RAS Development of an Improved Management Plan for the CutzamalaWater System, Phase II (FY16), Programmatic Approach for the Energy Sector: Supporting a Low-Carbon Economy (FY18), and Programmatic Approach for Environmental and Climate Change(FY16). In addition, IFC investments in Eurus, Puertas Finas, Solem (I and II), Potrero Solar, SolemSolar, Bioappel, Perote II, IEnova Corp, and advisory services provided to Puertas Finas for resourceefficiency12 also supported the objective. MIGA provided a US$963 million political risk guarantee to

Fisterra Energy Holdings’ (Spain) investment in Ciclo Combinado Tierra Mojada S.A. (Zapotlanejo, Jalisco). Objective 7 had five indicators:

• Forest area under sustainable management practices and conservation schemes (hectares).In 2016, Mexico increased the area under sustainable management practices to 4.45 millionhectares, but this result was not sustained. The ICR review for the Forests and ClimateChange project reports that as of February 2018 about 3.9 million hectares were undersustainable management practices, a negligible increase over a baseline of 3.86 millionhectares in 2014 (the target was 4.5 million hectares in 2017). Partially Achieved

• Area brought under enhanced biodiversity protection (hectares). In total, 1,323,564 hectareswere brought under enhanced biodiversity protection (compared with a target of 1,134,500hectares in 2018). Achieved

• Number of water utilities whose global efficiency increases by two percent. The ICR review forthe Efficiency Improvement Program (FY11) reports that eight water utilities increased theirglobal efficiency by two percent as of June 2016 (compared with a target of five in 2016).Achieved

• Power in GWh generated from renewable sources supported by WBG projects (eolic, solar,combined, biomass). WBG projects resulted in at least 3,407 GWh generated from renewableresources, compared with a target of 3,838 GWh in 2018 (the baseline was 1,005 GWh in2014). Mostly Achieved

• GHG emissions in tCO2e avoided or reduced from renewable sources supported by WBGprojects (eolic, solar, combined, biomass). Taking into account reduction or avoidance of GHGemissions by WBG projects, the total emission reduction was at least 6 million tCO2e(compared with a target of 4.5 million). Achieved

26. The objective should have been disaggregated into two – one for sustainable management ofnatural resources and the other for GHG emissions from renewable energy sources as these aredistinct efforts. On balance, Objective 7 is Mostly Achieved.

27. IEG rates Focus Area IV as Moderately Satisfactory. A number of cities are using energydiagnostic tools, and GHG emissions were reduced through renewable energy sources supported byWBG projects. A significant area was brought under enhanced biodiversity protection, and substantialGHG emissions were avoided or reduced in cities supported by Bank projects in the energy andtransport sectors (tCO2e). However, there was a negligible increase of forest area under sustainablemanagement practices.

Overall Assessment and Rating

28. IEG rates the CPS development outcome as Moderately Satisfactory. Of the sevenobjectives, one was Achieved and six Mostly Achieved. On Focus Area I there was good progress inimproving financial inclusion for productive purposes, and a significant number of farmers wereintegrated into agribusiness value chains. However, IFC investments fell short of the targetedcontainer capacity. On Focus Area II, education access in target programs improved although theirquality is hard to assess. The social information system became more integrated, and PROSPERAbeneficiaries showed active participation in social and productive programs. Under Focus Area III,fiscal reporting by states improved, there was progress in disaster risk pooling, and states enhancedtheir public financial or information systems. From the information available, it is unclear whetherstates improved their fiscal management. Under Focus Area IV, GHG emissions were reducedthrough renewable energy sources supported by WBG projects, but there was a meager increase offorest area under sustainable management practices.

6. WBG Performance

Lending and Investments

29. At the start of the CPS period, outstanding IBRD commitments amounted to US$5.6 billionconsisting of 16 IPF operations approved during FY08-FY10. About 77 percent of the commitments(US$4.3 billion) were in focus area II (increasing social prosperity), for social protection, education,and health and nutrition. The rest were distributed in transport, energy and extractives, water,environment, finance and competitiveness, macroeconomics, trade and investment, and agriculture.During the CPS period, new IBRD commitments totaled US$3.4 billion comprising 13 IPF operationsincluding one additional financing project and 2 DPLs. Most of the commitments (47 percent)supported focus area II (increasing social prosperity) for education and social protection and focusarea II (unleashing productivity) (39 percent) for financial inclusion and rural finance. ASA supportedall the objectives under the program, and objectives 2 (investment climate/select infrastructuredevelopment) and 5 (fiscal management/public financial information) were exclusively supported byASA. Almost all trust-funded activities (11 out of 13) supported pillar 4 (promoting green and inclusivegrowth), primarily for climate change, energy efficiency, and forest management. The remaining twooperations were for education and affordable housing.

30. During the CPS period, twelve trust-funded projects13 amounting to US$187 million wereapproved (nine for US$111.9 million) or closed (four for US$74.7 million), with twelve supporting focusarea four on green and inclusive growth, and one supporting education. Seventy-five percent of thevolume went to five Global Environmental Fund (GEF) financed projects. They helped developrenewable energy, reduce green-house gas (GHG), induce policy changes in favor of sustainabletransport projects, promote adaptation to the consequences of climate impacts in the coastal wetlandsof the Gulf of Mexico, assess the impacts of climate change on Mexico’s national resource planning,and strengthen the sustainable management of productive landscapes. Four of the GEF-funded

projects achieved their development objectives at closure, and the one that remains open is making adequate progress.

31. During the CPS period, a total of 16 operations were closed, all of which were reviewed byIEG. Mexico’s performance at exit, measured by outcomes rated Moderately Satisfactory or better byIEG, was slightly better (75 percent of projects and 97 percent weighted by commitments)14 whencompared to the Latin America region (73 percent of projects and 80 percent weighted bycommitments) and World Bank (76 percent of projects and 84 percent weighted by commitments)averages. Most of the projects that closed and were rated Moderately Satisfactory or better supportedfocus areas IV (6) (promoting green and inclusive growth) and II (4) (increasing social prosperity).

32. Of the three projects rated Moderately Unsatisfactory or lower, one was in the water sector,one was in energy, and one in results-based management and budgeting. Under the energy project,the solar facility was not yet commissioned by the project’s closing date and thus did not deliver any ofthe targeted benefits. Even for a sophisticated client like Mexico, projects with innovative technologieshave greater risks than conventional infrastructure projects. Additional time for completing this type ofprojects could be needed to handle all the complications that may be encountered along the way. Onelesson from the water project is that time and effort were spent on processing a number of smallprocurement packages instead of focusing on knowledge sharing and sector policy dialogue. Toadvance innovative approaches that require small-scale procurement, the project’s ICRRrecommends that the Bank could consider grouping procurement items or taking other approaches(more flexible procurement rules with higher thresholds) that promote efficiency without compromisingquality.

33. Overall, IBRD’s Mexico active portfolio performed well. The share of projects at risk (by numberof projects) averaged 17 percent, lower than the LAC region (24 percent) and the World (21 percent).The share of commitments at risk was lower in Mexico (11.4 percent) than in the LAC region (18.6percent) and the World (21.5 percent). Self-ratings of ongoing projects were satisfactory, in line withthe generally good performance of projects at exit in Mexico.

34. At the start of the CPS period, IFC had US$963 million of investments in 23 active projects.During the CPS period, US$1.44 billion in new commitments were made. Of the US$2.4 billion ininvestment active during the period, the largest sectoral exposure was in the finance and insurancesector (with 26 percent), followed by chemicals and industrial & consumer projects (17 percent each).Thirty-eight percent of the new commitments made during the CPF period were in the finance andinsurance sector, followed by transportation and warehousing with 15 percent and chemicals with ninepercent. IFC’s average outstanding short-term commitments under the Global Trade Finance Program(GTFP) was US$2.5 million. IFC’s portfolio in Mexico is the fourth-largest IFC portfolio in the LatinAmerica region and the eighth-largest worldwide.

35. During the CPS period, IEG validated 13 Expanded Project Supervision Reports (XPSRs)wherein nine projects (69%) were rated Moderately Unsuccessful or lower for not reaching theirdevelopment objectives. Of the seven XPSRs that corresponded to investments active during the CPSperiod, four were rated Moderately Unsuccessful or lower (in the education, industrial & consumerproducts, and construction and real estate sectors). Three were rated Moderately Satisfactory orhigher. The substantial proportion of poorly-performing investments (from a development perspective)stands in contrast to the fact that most of the CPS indicators to which IFC contributed were achieved.Only two of the poorly-performing investments were cited in the results indicators in section 5 above.Of the nine projects rated Moderately Unsuccessful or worse, three went into bankruptcy, four hadslower business than expected, one was impacted by a hurricane, and in one management changedstrategic direction. Of the four projects rated Mostly Successful or higher, two were in microfinance,one was in a growth equity fund, and one was in miscellaneous and industrial ores.

14 By volume, 92 percent of projects were rated Satisfactory, with one large project (Support to Oportunidades Project (FY09) amounting to 64 percent of the total.

36. MIGA underwrote a political risk guarantee to a power project amounting to US$962.9 millionduring the review period.

Analytic and Advisory Activities and Services

37. During the CPS period, the World Bank delivered 111 ASA products. Through FY18, for whicha breakdown is available, 12 were economic and sector work (ESW) and 78 were technicalassistance (TA). The ESW included a Public Expenditure Review (PER-FY16) and an UrbanizationReview (FY16). Through the PER the World Bank provided inputs to fiscal consolidation, the 2016budget preparation, and helped enhance subnational fiscal discipline. IEG’s Country ProgramEvaluation (2018) underscored that government financing of the PER demonstrated ownership.

38. The ASA program was organized around programmatic multi-year approaches that providedadvice on sustainable development and infrastructure (12 activities), human development (8activities), and equitable growth, finance, and institutions (8 activities). The programmatic approachallowed a strategic approach to ASA activities (individual activities had to be coherent with the wholeprogram) and its multi-annual framework permitted annual reviews to adjust the program as needed.Under the Bank program, there was substantial demand for Reimbursable Advisory Services (26 inall). IEG’s Country Program Evaluation (2018) noted the significance of the technical assistanceexercise for the Cutzamala River Basin, which included RAS activities and developed a managementplan for safeguarding a critical water supply source for both Mexico City and the Toluca metropolitanarea, benefiting an estimated 5 million people.

39. The World Bank utilized ASA as a major instrument in engaging the authorities in areas suchas financial sector development, fiscal challenges, and urbanization and housing. It was also helpful inthe design of projects such as Expanding Rural Finance (FY19) and Improving Access to AffordableHousing Program (FY17). The ASA supported virtually all the objectives under the program. Notably,the Sound Financial Sector Development PA (FY16) and the RAS Banxico Programmatic (FY17)underpinned the objective on financial inclusion. The PA on Strengthening Subnational Governments(FY19) and PA for the Public Sector in Mexico (FY16) underpinned objective 5 on fiscal management.

40. During the CPS period, IFC began 15 new Advisory Service (AS) projects amounting toUS$11.5 million of IFC funds. Nine projects were terminated due to client disinterest, re-organizationor modification of original project scope. Of these terminated projects, eight were public-privatepartnership (PPP) transaction advisory projects. Only one of these projects had mobilized more than25 percent of its funding (mobilized 59%), and only one had spent more than US$100,000(US$187,000). Of the active projects, two are PPP advisory projects, one is regional businessdevelopment for PPPs, and one is in the financial sector. Two additional AS projects wereimplemented and closed, in the education and manufacturing sectors (the latter focusing on energyefficiency). IEG validated only two Project Completion Reports (PCRs), of which one was ratedSuccessful in development effectiveness (Puertas Finas energy efficiency) and the other was rated asHighly Unsuccessful. The latter attempted to develop new financing instruments with Mexican financialinstitutions, but there was lack of demand for such instruments, and regulatory issues impeded theirfeasibility.

Results Framework

41. The results framework reflected reasonably well the links between the government’s strategy,the CPS objectives and indicators, and the supporting World Bank Group’s interventions. Generally,the objectives addressed critical constraints based on analytical work, were congruent with thegovernment’s strategy, and indicators were measurable. However, there were shortcomings,particularly in targeting outcomes that the World Bank Group can influence through its interventions.As a result, several of the baselines and targets were changed at PLR stage, and some of theindicators were modified or dropped at that stage. Some objectives were significantly broader than theBank’s engagement under those objectives. For example, objective 4 on increased skilled labormarket participation, where the Bank’s interventions were geared to improved access to educationunder some programs. Therefore, at PLR stage the objective was replaced by one focusing oneducation. Similarly, objective 6—increase non-oil public revenues and improve expenditure equity—

Page 15: CLR Review - ieg.worldbank.org · quality was not, and aspects of fiscal management capacity were measured, but the quality of fiscal management itself was not. Nevertheless, the

15 CLR Review Independent Evaluation Group

was broader than Bank interventions, which focused on transparency and accountability, and subnational fiscal issues. At PLR stage objective 6 was merged with 7 (public sector management and information systems) and 8 (comprehensive risk management framework), and replaced by a new objective focused on fiscal management capacity and adoption of modern information management systems in selected states. Yet, even after the PLR, in some instances the scope of the objective was broader than indicator coverage. The new objective 6—improve capacity for low-carbon urban development management—has a broad scope referring to urban development management, while indicators refer to transport and energy diagnostic tools. Finally, objective 7—improve sustainable management of key natural resources (forests, biodiverse areas, water, and combined renewable energy)—tried to cover too much ground. The objective should have been disaggregated into two – one for sustainable management of natural resources and the other for GHG emissions from renewable energy sources.

Partnerships and Development Partner Coordination

42. The CPS did not articulate any partnership coordination strategy, and the CLR did not reporton cooperation with development partners.

Safeguards and Fiduciary Issues

43. Seventeen projects were closed and validated by IEG during the CPS, of which fifteentriggered at least one safeguard policy in the education, energy, social protection, transport and ICT,water, environmental and natural resources, agriculture, and the finance sectors. According to theCLR, environmental and social risks were generally low in all IBRD operations. The CLR also reportscompliance with the safeguards requirements as achieved throughout the portfolio, and credits WBoversight, close supervision, and capacity building activities for all the stakeholders. Project ICRs andICR reviews confirm these findings with additional details indicating careful attention to the safeguardsby the Bank and the country teams. Operations were faced with environmental waste disposal issues,poor budgeting, delays, weak reporting on safeguards and inadequate coordination betweengovernment agencies. The mitigation measures applied by the Bank and the country includedconsultations with stakeholders, staffing, and alignment of safeguards instruments with the Mexicanlegislation. By project closure, all negative impacts are reported to have been mitigated andsafeguards compliance is rated satisfactory, in both the ICRs and the ICR reviews, with positiveoutcomes on the indigenous population.

44. In April 2016, a request for investigation was submitted to the Inspection Panel byrepresentatives of people resettled during the implementation of a Bank project. After conducting itsdue diligence, the Inspection Panel found that the claims were not associated with a WB-financedoperation.

Ownership and Flexibility

45. Overall, ownership of the CPS was strong. Consultations—which were extensive with thegovernment and stakeholders—were carried out while the authorities that had taken office about ayear earlier were developing specific sector implementation plans and strategies that complementedthe National Development Plan 2013-18. This allowed the WBG to align its interventions with those ofthe authorities. According to the CLR, at the time of the PLR the WBG engagement was adjusted toreflect changes in government demand, which enhanced ownership. The original CPS envisagedsupport for infrastructure development in view of possible requests from the new NationalInfrastructure Plan, which did not materialize. Therefore, support for infrastructure was replaced by adeepening engagement on financial inclusion, support for developing special economic zones (SEZ)in the poor south and southeastern states, strengthening productivity in agriculture, and linking thesocial protection system to productive programs.

WBG Internal Cooperation

46. There are examples that show that the World Bank Group cooperated well internally under theprogram. IFC participated in three out of the four program pillars (financial inclusion, opening localmarkets to private sector, education, housing, and renewable energy). World Bank Group support for

Page 16: CLR Review - ieg.worldbank.org · quality was not, and aspects of fiscal management capacity were measured, but the quality of fiscal management itself was not. Nevertheless, the

16 CLR Review Independent Evaluation Group

Red Compartida15 is an illustration of World Bank and IFC cooperation. The World Bank provided technical advice to the telecommunications regulator on sectoral competition policies for the Red Compartida program to ensure fair market access. IFC made an equity investment, along with the China-Mexico Fund, to Altán Redes, the company awarded the contract to build and operate the network. In the case of ASA, The World Bank and IFC collaborated in providing technical assistance to improve the efficiency of the Municipal Solid Waste Program, and the World Bank contributed to the review of the national legal framework for integrated waste management with a view to reducing GHG emissions. MIGA also participated through a political risk guarantee in energy sector. Risk Identification and Mitigation

47. The CPS identified key risks – sluggish economic performance affecting pace of reform, littleroom for countercyclical lending in the event of global or local shocks, limited institutional capacity(particularly subnational level), and crime and violence. Failure of reform implementation would affectthe program, and be mitigated by the flexibility embedded in the program. An adverse internationalcontext would likely require additional quick disbursing IBRD financing. Portfolio implementation couldbe affected given expansion of engagement at sub-national level, which the WBG would addressthrough close management of portfolio and programmatic approaches. WBG engagements areconcentrated in areas where there is less crime and violence, and therefore the impact of crime andviolence risks on the program was limited. Lack of counterpart funds affected the implementation ofsome projects such as the Urban Transport Transformation Project (FY10). The WBG response wasto restructure projects to deal with lack of counterpart funds and adjust the scope of projects. At thesubnational level, weak capacity and complex institutional arrangements contributed to projectimplementation delays. Regular pipeline meetings were established with the Secretariat of Financeand Public Credit to discuss subnational external borrowing and weak subnational capacity.

Overall Assessment and Rating

48. Overall, IEG rates World Bank Group performance as Good.

Design

49. The CPS design addressed important development challenges and was congruent withMexico’s National Development Plan 2013-18. On the whole, the program had a focus on reducingpoverty and increasing shared prosperity. Three out of seven CPS objectives at PLR stage had adirect focus on reducing poverty and sharing prosperity, including financial inclusion in underservedrural areas, and/or targeted low-income areas. The team went through a rigorous selectivity exercise.However, the broad scope of some objectives made the original program less selective in terms ofcoverage than it appeared, as in the case of skilled labor participation, non-oil public revenue andexpenditure equity, public sector management, and risk management framework. In the originaldesign, there was a weak link between some objectives and their indicators. The PLR recognized thatthe coverage of objectives was broader than the program’s intentions and merged and/or changed anumber of objectives. The program’s expectations to increase non-oil public revenues and improveexpenditure equity were reduced, and its original expectations to put in place an integrated andcomprehensive risk management framework were slightly reduced. Still, after the PLR, someobjectives (natural resources and renewable energy) were compound objectives with broad coveragethat would require trimming for more selectivity.

Implementation

50. In terms of implementation, project performance at exit was better than the LAC region andthe overall World Bank. Just three out of 17 projects that exited during the CPS were rated ModeratelyUnsatisfactory or lower. The World Bank was generally proactive through country portfolioperformance reviews, which provided solutions to issues in the implementation of several projects.Such issues arose from expenditure cuts that affected project implementation after 2016, to weakcapacity and complex institutional arrangements at the subnational level.

World Bank ongoing operations (e.g. Urban Transport Transformation project [FY10]) implementation issues were difficult to resolve despite the World Bank’s proactivity. The programmatic approach to ASA allowed a strategic approach to activities (individual activities had to have coherence with the whole program) and its multi-annual framework permitted annual reviews to adjust the program as needed.

51. IFC participated in three out of the four program pillars, and its contributions helped withfinancial inclusion, opening local markets to private sector, education, housing, and renewable energy.However, five out of eight XPSRs for IFC investments active during the CPS period that validated byIEG were Unsuccessful or Highly Unsuccessful. They were in education services, industrial andconsumer products, and construction and real estate. This had a limited impact on the achievement ofCPS objectives but indicates some shortcomings in the IFC portfolio. Likewise, several AdvisoryServices projects were terminated (although before much work was done as evidenced by the lowlevel of spending on them) due to lack of client interest, mostly for public-private partnershiptransactions. MIGA also participated with a political risk guarantee in the energy sector.

52. The CLR did not provide a sufficient description of how IFC, MIGA, and World Bankcoordinated their work in areas where they had complementary activities, such as energy.

7. Assessment of CLR Completion Report

53. The CLR provided an assessment of CPS design and World Bank Group implementationperformance, but the evidence and analysis provided was uneven. First, it did not provide anassessment of the results framework, and the discussion of the substantial ASA program contributionto objectives was inadequate. Under some objectives, ASA contributions were not discussed. Second,the CLR did not provide a sufficient discussion of how IFC, MIGA, and World Bank coordinated theirwork in areas where they had complementary activities, such as energy and finance.

8. Findings and Lessons

54. The CLR provided four lessons: (i) flexibility in the WBG’s engagement was key to respondingrapidly to the country’s development needs, (ii) supporting Mexico’s role as a global knowledge leaderprovides important insights for the global public goods agenda, (iii) close collaboration within the WBGhas been critical to creating an appropriate business environment, and succeeding in crowding inprivate sector solutions, and (iv) the use of the full suite of WBG services and instruments ofengagement with the public and private sectors is a good example of the World Bank’s relevance inupper-middle-income countries, such as Mexico.

55. IEG broadly agrees with these lessons, with nuances. On flexibility, indeed there was somerefocusing of resources at PLR stage as explained in footnote 9, but this was minor compared with theradical changes under the previous (FY08-FY13) strategy in response to the effects of the globalfinancial crisis. On collaboration within the WBG, the role of IFC was significant, and MIGA played itspart, but the CLR only briefly mentions IBRD, IFC, and MIGA coordination under the program.

56. Under the Mexico CPS for FY14-FY19, World Bank Group supported the government ofMexico to implement interventions that were targeted to addressing the country’s development goalsand were broadly focused on reducing poverty and improving shared prosperity. There was a degreeof selectivity, and there was strong ownership of the CPS by the authorities. World Bank, IFC, andMIGA interventions complemented each other, but the degree to which the institutions workedtogether was not explained explicitly in the CLR. There were shortcomings in measuring the program’sintended results and outcomes. There was a weak link between some of the CPS objectives and theirindicators, especially in the original design, and there could have been a greater outcome orientationin some cases. For instance, access to education was measured, but quality was not, and aspects offiscal management capacity were measured, but the quality of fiscal management itself was not.Nevertheless, the program made important contributions to Mexico’s development –

However, the figures cited for P107159/P114012 are for projected lifetime GHG emission reductions. Based on project documents, the GHG emissions avoided or reduced: • 0.15 million tCO2e/year was

avoided as of November 2018 (December 2018 ISR: MU of P107159). By April 2019, emissions reductions were reduced to 46,842 tCO2e/year as a result of adjusting former estimates with known demand of levels in project areas (ICR: U)

• 5,074,000 tons of CO2 reductions as of June 2014 (IEG ICRR: S of P106424). The June 2014 ISR: S reports that 3,320,829 tons of CO2 has been reduced as of December 2013. The total accumulated reduction during the CPS period then is 1.7 million tons of CO2.
